Forecast issued at 5:00 am EST on Thursday 7 December 2023.
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high in the Tasman Sea extends a ridge northward over the east of the state, while a weak trough persists in the far west. The ridge will persist most of the week but a new trough may move across southern Queensland over the weekend. Severe Tropical Cyclone Jasper in the far northeastern Coral Sea is forecast to develop further while drifting towards the central Coral Sea during the latter part of this week. Jasper is forecast to gradually move in a general southwesterly track towards the Queensland coast early next week. At this stage the highest risk of a cyclone impact is the region north of Mackay but the timing and severity of the coastal impact remains highly uncertain at this stage.
